Zack Snyder's 'Superman Man of Steel' gets 3D release

Director Zack Snyder has revealed that Warner Bros' Superman film will screen in 3D in selected cinemas alongside its 2D and IMAX versions.

"The film is going to be a visually exciting experience in all formats: 2D, 3D and IMAX," he said in a statement.

"Anticipating how audiences today embrace 3D, we designed and photographed the movie in a way that would allow Man of Steel to captivate those movie goers, while respecting fans who prefer a more traditional cinematic experience.

"We've taken great measures to ensure the film and the story come first, and 3D is meant as an enhancement."
